Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Nissan 370Z: Eliminating hot coolant heater hoses on both throttle bodies

I took the opportunity very recently when I removed my throttle bodies for cleaning. I made it a lot simpler though and did not reconnect the hard line at the back of the engine. I took hose #6 and disconnected it from the passenger side TB, rotated it around, and connected it to where he reconnects hose #16 on the driver side. The FSM identifies this as E: Heater Pipe, where hose #5 was originally connected (cut off in the diagram). No extra parts required, except 2 extra plugs for the hard line behind the engine.
